Chapel Trail

3.9 (7 Ratings)
A good way to make a short loop, but not a worthwhile side-trip if you're on a bigger hike.

Access Issues
The Chapel is not a designated trailhead and if you are parked there after 5pm, your car will remain there until at least 7am. Park down the hill and ride up if you're starting here. This trail is frequently done as part of a larger loop, so this isn't much of a problem.

Description
Starting from the Chapel, go down a rocky, fairly steep singletrack until you start to contour around the hill on smoother trail. Occasional rock outcroppings keep things interesting, continue to where it ends at the Little Horse Trail.
